The Sabal Trail Gas Pipeline is a project more than 400 miles long
spanning across three different states. The purpose is to provide
domestically-produced natural gas for the southeast region. But this
pipeline comes at a cost to property owners. Eminent Domain Attorney
Brian Bolves says, “It’s a big scale project that’s coming through
the community. It will change the character of a lot of people’s
property,there have been a lot of surveyors assessing people’s
property and so people have a lot of concerns about the nature of
this facility.”

One Florida county is taking the Sabal Trail pipeline proposal seriously, maybe because there are no fewer than three paths for the pipeline into Gilchrist County, Florida, all three crossing the Santa Fe River, and one first crossing the Ichetucknee River.

Crosby said there are two proposed routes through Gilchrist County
and rumors of a third route. He said he has been unable to get
answers from Sabal Trail officials, but they are willing to answer
questions from the public at the meeting.

“We’re kind of in the dark,” he said.
“There’s nothing definite. I
can’t get an answer from Sabal Trail.”
